About Us
The mission of the School is to provide excellence in Arabic language education. The Program prepares students of Arabic as a second language to eventually become proficient/almost native speakers in Arabic. Our teachers and tutors are native speakers well versed in the cultural methods of teaching Arabic.
Our immersion program is grounded in the proficiency method for teaching Arabic as a second language. Therefore, students learn speaking, listening, writing, and reading Modern Standard Arabic at a comfortable pace. In addition, students learn spoken Lebanese with its multiple shades and accents.
The curriculum also offers a series of films and documentaries. The mediums are aimed at enriching student knowledge of Middle Eastern culture in general and the way of life of Lebanese and Arab societies in particular.
Successful completion of the intensive sessions grants students 8 semester credits for each of the elementary, intermediate or advanced level. Students registered in the colloquial class will receive four credits. In theory all credits should be transferrable to any college in the world. In practice, some institutions may require an assessment exam before credits are transferred. Our school does not have any affiliation with any college, university, or faculty outside Lebanon, nor it has credit reciprocity with any European, American, or Canadian study abroad programs. The school simply prepares students to effectively speak and understand Arabic without the formalities of formal institutions.
